I took a low ball offer on an a leather MJ backpack. I didn’t want to wait to get it out of my closet. So that is one more out for February. It is hard to believe this month is almost over. I won’t do counts until tomorrow as I will be doing some shopping today.
Thanks for the feedback, we reported it to the ad provider and are working on fixing it. I agree that it's a frustrating experience to have content bounce around on the page, particularly in a forum environment.
An inside zip pocket on the back wall of the interior is a "must" for me (thus, no Evelyne, sigh). I may have to check out a Trim when I'm next in San Francisco. Is this a bag that boutiques carry, or will they look at me as though I'm out of my mind?
Congratulations on all of your exit successes!
Thanks for the update Vlad!
This philosophy gets dangerous when you carry the collector gene in a dose that boarderlines to hoarding: there are only a few items that do not spark joy for me- and they are generally the practical nessecities like household stuff... fill my life with beautiful items that make me smile and throw out the pots and pans!
beautiful!
I love the trim as well! Id love to find a 35cm trim 1 in black!
Beautiful bags and accessories!!!For Orange & Yellow week (I am including gold-ish tones)

I’m quite fond of this gold Coach pouch as its sleek profile belies its capacity. And it has a pink interior! Perfect for street fairs and general no-worry wandering around. I even carry it crossbody even though I really dislike that.
Look at that mini backpack! I just can’t give it up..have had it since the last millennia. It can hold Wallet, phone, keys misc. pretty impressive capacity. I guess it reminds me of my younger, cooler, hipper me.
Within the box of SLG’s, those 2 puddles of gold? Those are “beggars purses” for cocktail evenings ..and if you’ve had one too many, it can double as a headache ice bag.
View attachment 4676512 The teeny tiny mini one can hold nothing..keys, lipstick and a few bills? It’s a finger bag!
See I told y’all ... I have a lot of lil goodies that don’t really get practical use but are a source of delight
The leather on this bag is beautiful!
I believe the trim has been rested. i think someone mentioned that the trim wht the fringe is coming back..An inside zip pocket on the back wall of the interior is a "must" for me (thus, no Evelyne, sigh).

Unless the angels in this forum who are capable of resisting the urge of frustration related shopping I caved in.... The bag arrived today: a 2007 dior "lovely" model. Hopefully this will finally be the one that gets used on a daily base. It´s nice, but no stunner and no collector´s piece.
I love the Dior charm on the front!
We are still in the bonding process as I have to overcome the frustration of having received it lined in hair. It must have last been used for a hairdressing appointment and lots of the clippings fell into it and got caught in the crease behind the lids of the exterior pockets. It looks a bit greyish in the photo due to the flash. In reality it´s deep black and almost like new.
I tried to put my things into it and am happy with the capacity. The huge wallet fits without any problems and there´s room for more.

Does a bag I technically bought in October 2019 count as a recent sin?
Today I was sent a tracking number for a parcel and couldn´t believe things seem to actually be working out in the end!
I agreed to buy this bag in Oct 2019, paid for it and waited.... for a month until my seller told me she couldn´t find it in her house.... for another 6 weeks until she sent me my money back.
At the end of January she contacted me again saying it had re-appeared and I paid for it, again... to have the wait continue... until this morning the tracking number was sent to me.
Why did I chose to take the risk and keep up with all the delay?
It´s a black 2004 Dior Gambler Dice bag with silver hardware, a model that has been on my wishlist for ages! One of my Holy Grails!
(The leopard print pony skin and red velvet version is to die for, but gold hardware and I are not compatible.)
The price is significantly lower than for any other Gambler bag turning up for sale here in Germany for ages. Please keep your fingers crossed for me that it´s fine when it arrives!

It looks like it will be a pleasure to carry.
I was picked up a little summer crossbody at the outlets. It is light blue and will work wonderfully with my summer wardrobe. I will pull it out in blue week. I checked it out against my summer clothes and it will work perfectly. Now it is tucked away till we are no longer freezing here.
Not a Dior gal, can you show a pic? Sounds interesting!
